Introduction to International Trade,
Semester I, 2005-2006
Contacts:Ben Shepherd (benjamin.shepherd @ )
Dr. Sacha Wunsch-Vincent (sacha.wunsch-vincent @ )
Course Overview
Each seminar will generally be divided into two sections of one hour each. The first will be devoted to an examination of the relevant theory (led by the lecturer), while the second will consist of a case study. Seminar participants working in groups of 2 will be responsible for presenting the case studies. Presentations should aim not only to provide an overview of the issue, but also to stimulate discussion and debate by highlighting questions of current interest and controversy (maximum time per presentation 20 minutes!). At the end of each presentation, one participant will be chosen at random to discuss the presentation and to launch the debate. ALL seminar participants - not only those presenting or discussing the case study - will be expected to contribute to each seminar discussion and to have re
ad the required readings relating to the case study.
Finally, presenters are asked to submit a 2-page briefing note on their presentation topic to all their co-students and the instructor one week after their presentation.
A session-specific list of required and recommended reading is provided in the following pages. Case study presenters should treat the reading list as a starting point only, and should supplement that material with their own research, as well as the information available on the WTO website.
Grading
Grades will be based on 1) oral participation throughout the course (one third), 2) presentation (one third) and 3) the written examination (one third).

Websites
For case study purposes, the following WWW resources may prove useful (see also the links compiled
at gem.sciences-po.fr):
劳埃德•: The downloadable booklet Understanding the WTO (/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/understanding_e.pdf) contains an overview of
major issues in trade policy along with an explanation of the WTO and its role; it is aimed at
the general public. The “Trade Topics” heading provides more detailed information on each
area, along with access to source documents such as member country submissions and WTO
secretariat background papers. See also WTO Annual reports under /english/res_e/rese
r_e/annual_report_e.htm and the World Trade Report, /english/res_e/reser_e/world_trade_report_e.htm.
Participants should ALWAYS consult the relevant WTO pages when preparing their presentations.
•: A large stockpile of analytical work, but in this case from a development perspective.
•: A goldmine of detailed analysis is available under the “trade”
(/trade) and “globalisation” headings. A number of the Bank’s recent
“Trade Notes” provide useful background material for the case studies. Also some more
specialised material on agriculture, mostly from a development perspective. Regular publications such as Global Economic Prospects and the World Development Report sometimes focus on trade issues and provide thorough overviews.
•: There is a wealth of detailed analytical work available through the “trade”
pages (/trade), as well as through other specialised areas such as agriculture and
competition policy (as appropriate). “Policy Briefs” provide very accessible overviews of key
d.org/findDocument/0,2350,en_2649_201185_1_119696_1_1_1,00.html. See
d.org/sti/ict on technology-related issues.
